DIY Neil Armstrong Astronaut Suit

When my son needed to dress up as Neil Armstrong for a school presentation, I was determined to make him the perfect astronaut costume. After searching locally and scouring the internet for DIY ideas without much success, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a costume from scratch. The first step in my DIY adventure was to find pictures of Neil Armstrong online. I wanted to capture the authentic look of his iconic astronaut suit, so I spent some time collecting various images to use as references.

Tried my best to create this look with items I had at home but throughout the week I found myself searching for some items to make the costume look better…
